Chapter 10 : Fighting with daemons

In the prison cells...

-"Minako, please try and calm down" Serenity insisted.

-"I don't understand why I feel so upset and sad when I don't even seem to understand you..." Minako started drying off her tears and facing Serenity.

Minako had now been looking intensely in Serenity's direction and suddenly gasped

-"Oh my gosh"

-"Mina, please whisper... Remember we are not alone" Serenity told her

Minako nodded remembering that only Serenity used to called her by that nickname

-"So, where is he?" she asked Serenity

-"I had to take his identity and continue the battle ... in his name" Serenity whispered to her.

The two girls continued to look at each other, getting the courage from the other not to start crying. Minako could not hold long and tears were making there way across her face.

Suddenly footsteps were heard and both girls stiffened. It was a guard walking past them. As he came close to their cell, he grinned at Mina. He then turned to Serenity with an arrogant look in his face, and told her:

-"So the mighty Shingo's going to be executed tomorrow" and started laughing

Minako was crying even more whereas Serenity's looks however hardened.

-"I'm sure this beautiful girl will be next in line" he said and laughed before making his way out.

Serenity waited to be sure he was nowhere near before talking to Minako

-"Mina, we have to find a way of at least getting you out of here" Serenity started

-"Why me ... You are the one that has to continue the battle, not me ... so we must try and find some way out for you" Minako said bravely

-"I just cannot believe this is all my fault" Serenity buried her face in her hands

-"Why are you saying this Serenity?" Minako asked her

-"Because I have failed to accomplish my mission ... and worst of all I fell in love" Serenity said

-"Why are you so unhappy to be in love?" Minako asked her

-"I've fallen in love with Endymion" Serenity just whispered his name

-"Endymion? I only know of one person carrying that name and he is the prince of this castle ...." Minako stated before continuing "You aren't telling me that ..."

Before Minako could finish and Serenity could answer, footsteps were to be heard and this time it was Kunzite who had come. With a severe look on his face he looked at Serenity and told her:

-"If you really do love Minako, you must let her go" he said sharply

-"What on earth are you talking about?" Serenity answered back

-"Let her stay with me and she won't die" he said and continued "I will do no harm to her.

Minako was surprised as much as Serenity was shocked. She kept looking at Minako and Kunzite on and off before nodding her head in approval

-"I need to have your word that you will take care of her" Serenity said solemnly

-"But Se..." Minako tried to speak

-"Mina, you have to continue to survive ... that's the least I could do" Serenity told her and then looked at Kunzite "Do I have your word?"

-"Yes you do" the man answered and jested towards Serenity to go towards the back of the cell to which the girl complied

Kunzite opened the cell and took Minako by the hand. Minako looked back towards Serenity and Serenity simply nodded her head.

Next moment the cell doors were closed on Serenity leaving her alone in the cell

Outside the prison ...

-"I never thought that Shingo would give up on you so easily" Kunzite said simply

-"That's probably because you'll never be able to love someone as much as Shingo did" Minako answered him "Shingo's love for me is so great that he is willing to let me go so that I could survive and I'm sure not many men would have reacted in his manner" Mina continued

-"Whatever" Kunzite told her while taking her to his quarters

-"How did you get me out of the cell" Minako asked the man

-"My gift for assisting the prince and capturing the rebel" Kunzite grinned to a sad Minako and continued "It's a present from the King himself"


In Kunzite's apartments ...

-"I have two rooms in my apartments, so you can have the visitor's one" Kunzite simply told her before going to his

-"Thank you" Minako answered and asked him "Why are you doing all this for me ?"

-"Personnel interest" he answered "I am just hoping that one day you'll love me just a little bit" he said and closed his door

Minako was touched by these words which seemed very sincere. After a moment, she locked herself in the visitor's room.


One hour later ...

-"Kunzite, Kunzite, I need you now" Endymion was shouting ouside his cousin's quarters waking both Minako and Kunzite

-"Minako just opened her room door as Kunzite was already at the front door opening to Endymion

Minako's heart flinched a moment as she actually noticed how good looking the prince was 'Oh my gosh, I'm going mad' and however understood that Serenity could have actually fallen for him.

However she was not prepared to hear what the prince was to tell his cousin

-"You have to help me Kunzite" Endymion's tone was more of a commanding tone

-"What do you want Prince?" Kunzite asked him

-"I have to be with her, I need her ... I can't just let her die" Endymion was saying in an incoherent manner

-"What on earth are you talking about?" Kunzite asked confused

-"Surely you can go looking out for Serenity after executing Shingo, don't you think so?" he said

-"I can't" the Prince replied

-"Why not?" Kunzite continued not realizing that Minako was in the hall as well

-"Do you really love her?" Minako asked the Prince

Endymion got a shock seeing Minako in Kunzite's quarters

-"It was a gift from your father" Kunzite tried to act normal

-"Do you really Love her?" Minako asked again

-"I don't need to tell you anything" Endymion told her before turning towards Kunzite "Will you help me?"

-"I'm sorry but I cannot help you!" Kunzite answered with his face down

-"Why not?" Endymion asked angrily

-"Your father would take away Minako from me if he does not see you tomorrow at the execution... You know that if he gets angry ... he'll take it on me and I cannot take a risk of loosing her"

-"Kunzite, I won't be coming back here ... at least not until King Darius's reign's over" Endymion stated solemnly

-"Are you totally mad Endymion but don't tell me you are planning on becoming a traitor to your own father" Kunzite asked him panicked

-"I just found out that he is not my father and that I'm not your cousin ... That I was King Marcus' son, and that my adoptive father's the murderer of my father"

-"King Marcus was the ruler of the south if I remember well ... I can remember my parents talking about how good and kind he was ... before he was killed that is" Mina intervened into the conversation.

-"That's right ... I only got to know all that today ... and I cannot leave Serenity one minute more alone" Endymion said firmly and then continued sadly "How will she ever forgive me"

-"Why? What have you done to her?" asked Kunzite still unaware that the prisoner in the cell is the Prince's beloved

-"She still loves you so if you're honest about your feelings, I am sure eventually forgive you" Mina answered

-"Why do I have the feeling I am missing out on something?" Kunzite asked Mina and Endymion

-"This Shingo I have been fighting all this time is no other than Serenity?" Endymion finally let out

-"But... but... Minako..." Kunzite was confused

-"My fiancé Shingo was supposed to be the child savior and was killed my your Prince" Mina told coldly and added "and Serenity endorsed his identity in order to take revenge on her brother ... and I guess somewhere in the meantime she meant Endymion and fell in love with him"

-"We both did not know ... we just did not know" Endymion kept on repeating thinking of all the brief moments he and Serenity had shared.

-"I will help you Endymion" Kunzite finally answered after thinking for a long time "and I will run away with you'll as well ..."

-"For now, we better get started to get Serenity out of her cell" Endymion smiled
